Daniel's finger picking is coming around...

I'm so very sorry everyone. This past week has been...well..interesting. Regardless of my explanation, I know that many of you will not accept it and reject this blog altogether. I sincerely apologize. It was not my intention to harm any of you whether it be physically or emotionally. Anyways, here's been our week.

We woke up last early Sunday morning (about 5am) and noticed Kate's car was outside when it started to hail. We got her car the hail in the garage and something kept nagging me to look out the back window...I was surprised how much our bushes had grown overnight because they now seemed to be on our deck. Nope...surprise! Homeowners for 1 month and our tree blew down. Ijole! Another thing you should know about me...I can be pretty cheap. I was not prepared to drop any sort of money to have this thing removed. All I needed was a chain saw (did not have) or a handsaw (did not have)...thankfully I DO have good friends and family who helped us out. In particular, John Kool (borrowed his chain saws), Jason Cooper (showed me how to USE the chain saws), my Dad (did a TON of work), and Pete Madsen (especially a big help getting the stump out).

Basically every free moment of light was used to work up this tree. The stinky part was that I also had a busy week of auditions, concerts, and graduation...it made for a stressful one for all of us. BUT, we prevailed. It was quite sad because we were looking forward to watching Daniel grow up and play in the tree. It was a good one for climbing. We decided we're going to plant a new one and watch him grow up with that one. It'll be a neat thing.

Another exciting thing that happened May 11th was our niece was born!!! Elaina Rose Martinez was born 11:58 am 7 lbs 9 oz 20 1/4 long. Great, great, great looking baby. They're going to be stellar parents for a stellar kid. We're so happy for them and can't wait to watch Daniel and her grow up together. Congrats, Jen and Queño!

He loves to run up to this blanket and just put his head down like this...one of my favorite things...that and raindrops on roses.

Well, school is winding down. Summer (as we know it) is just around the corner. We'll be keeping busy with this and that, but I'm just excited for lots of quality to family time. We'll be out on the 25th of May and celebrating my 10 year high school reunion, traveling to family reunion in Minnesota, and hopefully doing lots of outdoor activities to get Daniel accustomed to...summer life =)
